Background: Endoscopic-assisted transaxillary dual-plane (EATD) technique is a popular procedure for breast augmentation, especially for Chinese women. However, frustration is often expressed by plastic surgeons when first attempting EATD surgery. Simulation-based teaching is beneficial for EATD training, but it is expensive. Read More

The use of the transaxillary incision has enabled augmentation mammoplasty with a scarless breast. However, the classic technique has been associated with high rates of asymmetry, malposition, and high riding implants. With the addition of endoscopic assistance, retropectoral pocket visualization and better control of the lower pole has been facilitated. Read More

The dual plane technique is a popular procedure for breast augmentation. However, traditional dual-plane augmentation mammaplasty usually requires incisions through the areola or inframammary crease, which produces a scar on the breast. Therefore, women may not favour this technique, especially Chinese women who are genetically susceptible to hyperplastic scars. Read More

Background: Endoscopic surgery has been applied successfully in breast lump excision, breast augmentation, subcutaneous mastectomy for gynecomastia, and axillary dissection. Since subcutaneous mastectomy has been proven to be oncologically safe for early breast cancer, we have sought to develop a reproducible minimally invasive endoscopic-assisted technique to address this condition.

Methods: Between December 1998 and May 1999, endoscopic-assisted subcutaneous mastectomy and axillary dissection with immediate reconstruction using a mammary prosthesis was performed in nine patients with early breast cancer at the Prince of Wales Hospital, Hong Kong. Read More

This article describes new trends, techniques, and instrumentation in aesthetic surgery. Advances in our understanding of anatomy and the changes that come about with intrinsic and extrinsic factors are discussed. Specifically, anatomic approaches to rhytidectomy, the preservation of lid shape in blepharoplasty, and CO2 facial resurfacing are highlighted. Read More

The aesthetic approach for insertion of a breast implant is through an axillary incision. The scar is hidden in an inconspicuous and infrequently exposed site; it is also often scarcely visible when faded. The described technique is simple and requires an added stab incision. Read More
